MHFA England partners with party conferences to provide Mental Health First Aiders

For the first time, delegates across 2019’s party conference season will have access to first aid support covering both their mental and physical health.

MHFA England is delighted to be partnering with the Liberal Democrat, Labour, and Conservative party conferences to provide Mental Health First Aiders. 

Delegates struggling with symptoms of anxiety, such as panic attacks or other urgent mental health issues, will be able to seek support from trained Mental Health First Aiders, who will offer assistance as a first point of contact and signpost to further support.

MPs and businesses will be given the opportunity to sign up on site to the Where’s Your Head At? Workplace Manifesto – a mission statement for a mentally healthier working world, where mental and physical health are supported and protected equally. Launched by MHFA England, Bauer Media UK and mental health campaigner Natasha Devon MBE, to date nearly 300 employers and 20 MPs have signed up to show their support.
